Had a minor shunt and since that time the rear nearside door sounds like it's not closing quite as tight as it should. Nothing noticeable, just a bit more road noise. Is there any way of making it close tighter the same way as you can adjust the boot lid?

draw a line round it first in case you move it too much or it comes loose and want to get back to where you started.
